A cruel and mercurial ancient deity, stranded on Earth for thousands of years, has been searching for his means to escape from his earthly confinement. The only two artifacts that will do the job, the Seals of Eternity, have been lost in the sands of time. Sed, the mysterious and shadowy figure of jackal, has killed thousands in his relentless search for the Seals. The 21st century sees him taking over bodies of delegates attending an archeological convention in Miami, in pursuit of the knowledge about the two Seals. The left-handed seal is on exhibit in a local museum. The academic who curates the traveling exhibition is a Serbian war-criminal, hiding under a dead man’s identity. Sed, whether as a shadow or wearing someone’s body, has been tracking him across two continents just to be able to see one artifact that is not only a key to his prison, but a powerful energy conduit linked to all cosmic creation. The problem is that Sed needs both Seals, the left and the right-handed one, to close the loop that will guarantee him immortality…and in the process obliterate his current dimension and all creation in it.

Stella Hunter, although no longer a history professor, has been asked to present a paper at the Miami convention. Her family will be there to lend their support to their gregarious and irascible wife and mother. Since the convention is an international affair, Stella hopes to connect with many colleagues, including her best-friend-and-best-enemy, the San Francisco museum curator, Dr. Abigail McEwen.

When Stella’s husband, Carter, takes their adoptive son, Gabriel, to see the newly opened exhibit of recently discovered ancient treasures in a museum in Coral Gables, he has no idea that once again the doomsday clock started ticking.

The first thing that hooked me in the beginning was how the main characters were regular people. The second was the history component. I was probably an archeologist in another life.All in all they were great reads & I look forward to your next book.

Excellent Thriller. This was such an enjoyable book to read. A great plot, outstanding characters, with plenty of twists and turns. I know how much I’m enjoying a book when I’m disappointed when I must put it down, and this was certainly one of those. I had to stop myself from skipping forward to the end to see what happened, and I’m glad I did as it was worth the wait.Dr Stella Hunter would love to see Dr Vuk Jovanov exposed for the fraudster she believed him to be. Surely if someone spent the time looking into Jovanov’s background, credentials and dubious research, they would see there were some gaping holes in it. In a cruel twist of fate for Stella, there are now people questioning her latest book, and the content in it. Attending the convention in Miami with her family might be a good distraction for her, however being an international event Jovanov was sure to be there. The police are certainly baffled by some of the recent murders, especially how some of them are dying. There’s no way they would believe the deaths are being caused by Sed, a demon that has been stuck on earth for a hell of a long time. If Sed could finally locate the Seals of Eternity, he would leave in a heartbeat. He should have listened to Ma’at the High Judge when she told him to stay away from this world, but of course Sed couldn’t resist the potential power of the Seals of Eternity. With the curse that was placed on Gabriel, Stella and Carter are going to need to be very careful in protecting him. I really enjoyed all the books in this series, and I would highly recommend them.

What did I like? Wow, with all the action and cross action happening in this book there was nothing to dislike. I loved all the characters and the storyline was mind-blowing. I have read all the books in this series and I like this one the best so far.

What will you like? Breathtaking action, remarkable characters, astounding storyline and tremendous ending. The action was never-ending, developing as it went and the characters were amazing. I loved Gabriel, he was incredible. The characters, each of them was noteworthy on their own and helped keep the action more interesting because of them. But, hold your breath for the action, truly outstanding. I, myself hope the author keeps going with this series.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe most thrilling book yet in the Peacetaker series!

Sed is a demon entity who has been eternally condemned to roam the world as a shadow. His search for the Seals of Eternity coincides with a conference of archaeological experts in Miami, for which Stella is a lecturer. The world-building of Sed’s interaction with Ma’at in pre-history afterlife judgement is amazing; the myth and how it interacts with present-day humanity is vividly detailed. Suspense builds to a breaking point when Sed ultimately seizes the essence of Gabriel, Carter’s and Stella’ son. Carter pulls out all the stops and accesses the killer instincts of his FBI training, while Stella postulates on mythical actions and reactions, to save Gabe’s life. I like all of Petrick’s books, but I found this one the most thrilling one yet.

I received this book free from eBook Discovery, and this is my voluntary and honest review.

An entertaining and chilling mystery linking the past to the present. Once again Stella and Carter start out with one goal in mind and end up entering dangerous territory in their search for truth. Another writer has challenged Stella's research for one of her books and Stella is determined to prove that this writer is a fraud and a thief. In this book Gabriel has been brought to the forefront and his knowledge and personality shine. This series of books has been most entertaining and blends the supernatural and the real world together in such a way that it flows smoothly and reads like a normal everyday account of a mystery in life. I voluntarily agreed to read and review a copy of this book.
